Crowdfunding Open Source, one issue at a time

After two months of development, I think FreedomSponsors is ready for its very own link here on HN :-)

I always thought there should be a crowdfunding platform for oss feature requests. Only paypal is a downside, but I hope they will start to accept other payment options in the future

Looks similar to the now-deceased Elveos <a href="https://elveos.org/fr/index" rel="nofollow">https://elveos.org/fr/index</a><p>Hope you get luckier !

Gun.io has a similar feature: <a href="http://gun.io/open/" rel="nofollow">http://gun.io/open/</a>

This seems like a great idea, there's just one thing I don't understand - the project owners are not onboard (as far as I can tell), so whoever decides to fulfill a bounty is not necessarily connected to the projects and might not have commit privileges. How does that work?

Looks like a cool project!
